Don’t buy simple syrup from the store. I’ve committed this sin of sloth myself in the past, but all you need is a few minutes and a microwave to make your own. Here I’m using light brown sugar to add a bit more flavor, but any sweetener will work.

Steps

1. Microwave for 60 seconds on high
2. carefully take it out and stir
